In my practice, I have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, and adults who are wanting to live a healthy life. I have found that people of all ages sometimes find it difficult to communicate their emotions. We aren’t handed an emotions communication manual for today’s world. Plus, the world around us is constantly changing and this can cause us to adapt and survive the best way we know how.

My interests are in working with neurodiverse infants, children, teens, adults & families.
Now Accepting New Clients! Life can be stressful, and even oftentimes overwhelming. Stressors and trauma can impact our lives in many ways, negatively contributing to our physical and emotional health. I believe the mind has the innate capacity to heal. Therapy can provide the key to unlocking our own power to make positive changes, improving how we respond to life's challenges. The process of change and emotional growth is one that starts with the initial step of reaching out. Therapy can provide a safe, confidential, judgement free environment to explore how to manage stress and live life fully.

I have 9 years of experience and training as a counselor in Oklahoma helping people who have experienced trauma, grief, relationship and attachment difficulties, and parent/ child relationship problems.
Resilience, the ability to bounce back from adversity, is born through kindness and self compassion. Trauma, feelings of anxiety, depression, lack of hope or motivation, and disconnection can cause us to lose compassion for ourselves and others. We want to feel good, be active, and live the way we want to live but sometimes stress and adversity create roadblocks that stand in the way. “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” ― Maya Angelou. Welcome to Kind Minds - it takes bravery to seek therapy, I'm glad you're here!

The Court ordered Extended Forensic Evaluation process is offered for concerns regarding allegations of child sexual or physical abuse.
I have worked with children and families for over twenty-five years and I never cease to be amazed at their resiliency. What I have learned is that children do cope with life struggles, but increasing the likelihood that they develop positive coping skills often depends on the support that surrounds them. Working with children and adults to recognize their own strengths and to learn new strategies for success remains a focus of my practice.

I am humbled every day when clients allow me to walk along side of them through their personal challenges and then cheer them on as they work towards the goals we have set together. We live in a world where there is more time spent on a phone instead of face-to-face conversations. Therapy gets us back to the basics of really hearing each other and figuring out a highly individualized approach. Whether you need a therapist for individual work, couple counseling, or help for your child. I will be honored to help you in your process to a healthier and happier life.

I offer play therapy for children ages 3 to 18.
I work with children, adolescents, and female adults whom are in distress, confused and need help with coping skills. I assist with helping them understand what happened, who they are and where they are going. Talking with someone other than family helps. It helps to not feel judged and feel accepted. We all have a place where we belong.

Life is hard. Feelings are hard, and sometimes we don't understand where they are coming from or why, we might just be reacting. We may feel angry, hurt, sad, depressed, disappointed, anxious, or a mixture of these feelings. We might feel stuck in a loop, and feeling like we can't get out. Sometimes we may need some help sorting it all out, and to make sense of it all. My work with children and adults involves helping the client become aware of why we have feelings and what is the best way to express them. Feelings are okay! I use an eclectic approach to help clients begin to piece it all together.
